Journey 2 Joy by Sheila A. Steplar

Throughout the book, Journey 2 Joy, Personal Development for Busy People, you'll find the premise that, no matter what, all is well. Each concept brings with it a positive focus on how you can choose to shape your life. This book is very much an introduction to living a life filled with joy where you can be confident that, truly, all is well.

Aptly named, Journey 2 Joy is just that. The author, Sheila A. Steplar, takes the reader on a voyage from right where he is and shows him that having joy in his life is by choice, not by circumstances, not by environment. Living a life filled with joy is available for anyone.

Steplar, as a Certified Life Coach, is more than qualified to lead her readers to a life of peace, freedom and joy which, she believes, is everyone's true birthright. Each new chapter gives a unique perspective to ridding their lives of stress and replacing it with peace, creativity and all things good.

The author, rather than driving home her points, simple leads you to embrace these beliefs as truths you can wrap around your own life not just for now but forever. She gives you snapshots, up close and personal, of her own life and, in doing so, shows how you can apply the same thought patterns, intentions and choices.

To do this, she first lets the reader in on a secret: how to access the JoyStream. Simple instructions on how to do this are included plus there is a glossary in the back of the book to help define, as Steplar puts it, 'JoyStream-type words'. She freely admits to having lived most of her life in clinical depression. That is, until she learned how to access the JoyStream. Now, she devotes her life to helping others find the joy, the peace, the ability to thrive (not just survive) that she has found. You'll find that each chapter is simply another step on your own journey to joy. Plus there's a section for taking notes to record your own thoughts, affirmations and successes along your journey.

As you learn to access the JoyStream and choose to have joy in your life, you'll find that, no matter the daily stresses and anxieties that come along, all is well.
